HEEL PAIN IS MORE COMMON THAN YOU THINK
Do you feel pain in your heel as you step onto the ground in the morning when you get out of bed? Or does the pain happens later in the day as you walk or stand? The pain that occurs in the heel is also known as plantar fasciitis.
Heel pain is a common foot condition in which weight bearing on the heel causes extreme discomfort. Heel Pain is often caused by plantar fasciitis and heel spurs. The pain is usually felt first thing in the morning when getting out of bed, or when you first take a step after a period of inactivity. After walking, the pain usually improves but it gets worse again after walking or standing for a long period of time.
In most cases, plantar fasciitis occurs gradually – starting out as mild pain and worsening as time goes by. While the mild pain can slowly disappear without any treatment needed, it can also become chronic, affecting your daily life.

Stretch
While its important to stretch after exercising, it’s also important to stretch before exercising to warm up the muscles and loosen them. Stretch your calves and also the bottom of your foot. These exercises can help to strengthen the muscles around those areas, stabilizing your ankle by giving them better support as you walk.
-
Athletic Tape
You can also purchase athletic tape at drugstores to support your foot and prevent your foot from moving in a way that will worsen the plantar fasciitis.
-
Weight Loss
Gaining one kg of weight can increase the pressure on your feet, ankles and knees up to four times! Maintain a healthy weight to keep the pressure off your heel.
